Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AB International Group Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2021 derives from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. 

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes are determined by level 3 inputs. 

 

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815) and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

 

The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company's policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads (including for the Company's liabilities), relying first on observable data from active markets. Additional adjustments may be made for factors including liquidity, credit, bid/offer spreads, etc., depending on current market conditions. Transaction costs are not included in the determination of fair value. When possible, the Company seeks to validate the model's output to market transactions. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. Changes in fair value are recognized in the period incurred as either gains or losses.

  

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. The earnings per share after the reverse stock split is presented retrospectively as if the reverse split had occurred at the very beginning of the business. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for warrants, options and restricted shares under treasury stock method, and for convertible debts and convertible preferred stock under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period and excludes all potential common shares if their effects are anti-dilutive.

 

The Company had preferred shares and had no convertible notes and warrants as of February 28, 2022. As such, 49,977,583 potentially diluted shares from preferred shares were included in the computation of diluted earing per share for the three months ended February 28, 2022. For the three months ended February 28, 2021, and for the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, no potentially diluted shares were included in the diluted loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive.
